Invitation from the Local Organizers
The 19th International Mass Spectrometry Conference (IMSC) will be held in
Kyoto, Japan, at the Kyoto International Conference Center (ICC Kyoto), from
September 15th to 21st, 2012.
The IMSC is the largest international conference on mass spectrometry and allied
topics with a history of more than fifty years. It is a particular honor that this
landmark event -the first IMSC to be held outside Europe- will be staged in Asia.
Indeed, the conference city, Kyoto, is one of the leading Asian cities. It is not only
renowned as former capital and culture heart of Japan, but also for its place at
the cutting edge of mass spectrometry research. The long history can be seen
today in 17 UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites, fascinating traditions, cozy
workshops, and sumptuous dining; the bright future in state of the art research
institutions. In Kyoto we expect as many as 2000 researchers to attend the
conference. The 19th IMSC will demonstrate the mass spectrometry community
to be a global body.
We invite you to support this important scientific event and to contribute to the
successful organization as a donor, sponsor, advertiser or exhibitor. Some
options are listed in this invitation.
We are looking forward to our successful cooperation in the organization of the
Conference.
